According to the FBI memo in pdf file dated March 22, 1950, a special agent named Guy Hottel reported to the FBI director that three so-called flying saucers were recovered in New Mexico.

“They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter.” Guy Hottel wrote in the memo, as claimed by a US Air Force informant whose named was hidden.

“Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture.” Mr. Hottel added.

The memo also mentioned that the flying saucers were found ‘due to the fact that the government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area, in which it is being believed the radar interferes with the saucers’ controlling mechanism’.

However, the last part of the FBI UFO memo emphasized that no further investigation was made with regards to the claim.

Meanwhile, the said memo is only among the thousands of documents found in the Vault of the FBI Records, where old documents were scanned and posted online for public viewing.

Nevertheless, a Disclaimer on the site states that the reading materials that can be found in the ‘Vault’ do not always reflect the current views, policies, and priorities of the FBI.
